An international manhunt was launched to find a "coward" British man who killed his date in an accident on the Thames.
A judge issued a warrant for arrest after Jack Shepherd, 30, ran and failed to attend his trial at Old Bailey. He was sentenced to six years in prison in absentia
Shepherd, a web designer, had tried to impress a first date, Charlotte Brown, 24, after meeting on the site OKCupid in 2015
But their champagne party ended in tragedy when his boat capsized near Wandsworth Bridge in London when he hit a submerged log after Shepherd encouraged Brown to take the wheel .
They were both thrown into the cold water. She died after being pulled from the unconscious river and unanswered.
Shepherd, a native of Exeter, was convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence in the absence of the incident of December 8, 2015.
Police launched a hunt for the international man to bring him to justice after ignoring the victim's demands for justice
. His lawyer, Stephen Vullo QC, said, "He could not have faced the Brown family." Roz Wickens, Brown's mother, said, "I want Jack Shepherd to know that when he's having fun with his family, I'm not taking advantage of his life. "
myself and I'll never do it.
" The truth is that I'm going to visit Charlotte's grave. Also, if it was a terrible accident, as he claimed, why did not he explain what happened that night and at least sent his condolences
"The fact is that if Charlotte had not met her she would still be alive The empty hole that was left in my heart is huge and is agony.
" I will continue to feel pain , distress, emotion and anguish until I take my last breath. "
Judge Richard Marks sentenced Shepherd to six years of imprisonment on Friday and said he had a "totally cavalier attitude towards security".
"I am satisfied that at the time of the collision, the vessel was being driven" [TRADUCTION] "There is no question, in my opinion, that the defendant would have never had to allow Charlotte to drive the boat at any time, even though I'm not sure she did.
"She had been drinking, it was dark, and he must have known the river potentially dangerous … she had no previous experience of navigation. "
The court heard Shepherd marry a childhood friend a very short time after the speedboat accident and now has a child of two years old

Mais la relation s'est effondrée et Shepherd a eu du mal à trouver du travail en raison de sa consommation d'alcool et de ses liens avec l&# 39;affaire,
le sergent Christopher Davis a déclaré la police Il parle à ses amis et à sa famille, visite différentes adresses et travaille avec diverses agences pour trouver où il se trouve.
"Nous avons eu des indications mais il serait faux de spéculer pour le moment mais nous sommes ouverts au fait qu'il puisse être "Je dois dire que nous sommes tous très heureux – la police et la famille sont agréablement surprises de cette condamnation aujourd'hui.
" Je pense que cela a réitéré la gravité de l'infraction et l'insouciance des actions de Jack Shepherd la nuit en question … la famille est très soulagée que la justice ait été faite aujourd'hui. "
Le tribunal avait entendu comment Shepherd avait acheté la Fletcher Arrowflyte GTO de 14ft de Gumtree pour" tirer les femmes ".
Dans les mois précédant la mort de Brown, Shepherd avait amusé jusqu'à 10 femmes sur le modèle des années 1980, les ayant invité à sa péniche à Hammersmith.
Pendant ce temps, il avait été arrêté plus d'une fois et conseillé sur l'importance Le 8 décembre 2015, Shepherd traita Brown à un repas de £ 150 à Oblix dans le Shard, où ils burent deux bouteilles de vin.
Le couple prit un taxi pour retourner chez Shepherd où ils prirent champagne sur le bateau à moteur pour un voyage devant les chambres du Parlement.
Dans des séquences de téléphone mobile, Brown pouvait être entendu en criant qu'ils allaient "si vite" que Shepherd conduisait à plus du double de la limite de 12 noeuds. Au retour, Shepherd remit les commandes au consultant en développement des affaires Brown, qui suivit son exemple et alla "à plein régime".
Le bateau qui accélérait heurta une bille submergée et bascula, envoyant les deux occupants à l'eau.
Shepherd a été trouvé s'accrochant à la coque et Brown a été tiré de l'eau inconscient et ne répond pas.
Les paramédics se sont battus en vain pour la sauver car elle était déjà en arrêt cardiaque et souffrait d'hypothermie.
